This handgun is also particularly powerful and is highly recommended among all other pistols. Along with its power also comes semi-automatic fire, which is an advantage over the Revolver. The Kruger's combination of semi-automatic fire and high damage also rivals the Revolver overall.

The Kruger 9mm is almost identical to the Luger Pistol from TimeSplitters 2, with only a few minor appearance differences. Generally, the Kruger 9mm is a standard Luger P08 Parabellum, with the exception that the TimeSplitters Luger and Kruger both feature a whole secondary body piece rather than a thin barrel, as in the real-life counterpart.

Operation

Since, as aforementioned, the Luger and the Kruger from TimeSplitters are derived from the Luger P08, they most probably have the same or a very similar mechanism and operation. More detailed, in real life the iconic charging lever of the Luger P08 (photo here) pulls the breechblock (in this case, a metal slider) on top of the barrel and, afterwards, the barrel itself, ejecting the fired cartridge and inserting a new one into the chamber. In the TimeSplitters games however, the body of the weapon is wider (generally larger, too) and the barrel is rigid and not a moving part. The weapon part that is pulled backwards by the mechanism (not with a sliding breechblock, though; perhaps internally or beneath the main body of the weapon) is a whole secondary "body", which covers the barrel and leaves only a small part of the chamber cover exposed (like a standard pistol, see M1911 for reference). When fired, the TimeSplitters variant mechanism will pull the secondary "body" backwards, opening the chamber, ejecting the fired cartridge, inserting a new one into the chamber and finally reverting back to the standard position. This can be easily noticed or confirmed in-game, as, during the action of both the Luger and the Kruger, the weapon barrel is seen at the front of the weapon while the operation is underway.

There is a theory that both the Kruger 9mm and the K-SMG, since they are found on the island of Urnsay and used by Crow's army, are thus connected to the underwater city of Kronia, something which is evident on their naming; Kruger might be a portmanteau of the words "Kronia" and "Luger", while K-SMG might simply mean "Kronia Submachine Gun".

The kruger can be zoomed without attaching the silencer, something its Pistol 9mm and LX-18 cousins are incapable of. However, the silencer adds no zoom bonus.
